City of Eureka release: 

Eureka will welcome the return of the Scenic Eclipse cruise ship on Sunday, May 7th, at 1:00 p.m., departing at 8:00 p.m. The ship will be led into the harbor by a boat parade and a private welcome party at Schneider dock that includes live music.

During their visit, ship guests can enjoy Old Town or participate in excursions that the Humboldt Bay Harbor District is coordinating. The tours will include a hiking in Trinidad, Humboldt Botanical Garden, Ferndale, and the Redwood Skywalk.

Local citizens who want to view the ships can watch from the Del Norte Street pier, the Park and Ride at Herrick Avenue, and the Samoa boat ramp at the north jetty.

The Scenic Eclipse visited our harbor last September, and we are delighted they have chosen to return!
